Hello Teresa,
I just started using stand scan pro, I like it. I am totally blind, I could
not take proper picture of the text without stand scan pro. Sometimes I was
getting full text, sometimes I wasn't. so I thought of buying this bundle of
stand scan pro, it is quite good. I am just using from Four days. Regards
Ruby

Subject: Re: scanning apps

For me, the process of using OCR apps in iOS has always been a challenge. At
best, I can get a few words, just enough to find out what the object is. I
notice that I've gotten better with practice, but it's very rough going for
me. I don't know how much of my difficulty has to do with never having had
sight, but I'd imagine that generally, it's easier for those who've had
sight, because finding the best visual situation for this task comes more
easily to those who've had sight. Of course, I'm generalizing here, and I
may be wrong. after all, I haven't done a formal study of this issue. :) I
am continuing to practice, and I'm patient, but I have to say, the
experience is certainly not like using a flat-bed scanner with an
application such as Kurzweil 1000 or Open Book.

visible to the app, they can both be used free hand very successfully.
Several of us have posted our results from these apps here to show what can
be done. You need good lighting, and if, like me, you have no light
perception, the Light Detector app is a must as well.
